Very nice, keep the pics coming… it's good to see different interpretations of rim & tire combos. Really nice cars...

Hey Panic, like your set-up, I'll bet #17 runs pretty well.. It looks fast sitting still.

Thanks you,

Iggycat

Yours are nice because they're not the 'default' Torq Thrust that we all seem to have.
